Essay on civilized manners,about 1200 words

If you lose today, you are not considered a failure, because tomorrow will come again.

If you lose money, you are not a failure, because the value of life is not in the pocketbook.

If you have lost civilization, you are a complete and utter failure, for you have lost the true meaning of being human.

Civilization covers the relationship between man and man, man and society, man and nature. Its main role is to pursue individual moral perfection and to maintain public interest and public **** order.

Speaking of civilization and etiquette, a story comes to mind. Once, Comrade Lenin went downstairs, in the narrow aisle of the staircase, just bumped into a woman worker carrying a basin of water up the stairs. When the woman worker saw that it was Lenin, she wanted to go back and make way for him. Lenin stopped her and said, "There is no need to do so, you are already halfway up the stairs with your things, and I am now empty-handed, so please go through first." He said the word "please" very loudly and kindly. Then he pressed himself against the wall and let the workwoman go up the stairs before he went down. Isn't this also a manifestation of good civilized manners?

Here I do not want to cite too many examples of great men, because it is easy to make everyone have an illusion: that civilized etiquette is only great men, celebrities have, then we will not need to be more or less uncivilized for their own words and deeds and guilt; or that even if the practice of civilization requirements, but also because of which do not become a great man, celebrities. Not only do we need great men of morality, we need a moral populace.

A society's level of public **** civilization, can reflect a society a country's degree of civilization, a person who does not comply with the social civilization, the small will affect their own image, the big will affect the country's reputation. In the Qing Dynasty, the minister Li Hongzhang mission to Russia, in a public occasion, vices, spit a mouthful of sputum, was a foreign reporter greatly rendered, ridicule, lose the face of the Chinese people. This is a historical lesson of not observing social civilization.

Public **** civilization is a reflection of social consciousness, and public **** civilization is built on the level of personal moral cultivation. Imagine, if someone does not pay attention to their own civilization, he will have good public **** civilization? Will not! Personal civilization is the root of etiquette, is this. People to have a good public **** civilization must first start from themselves, from the side to do. So Mr. Lu Xun said: "China wants to survive in the world, the first in the establishment of people, people stand and then all things." The meaning of "establish people" is to improve the human thought and civilization, human civilization is not inherent, but rely on the latter day to continue to improve. To perfect one's personal cultivation, one must first devote oneself to reading and learning, and perfect one's cognitive level; if one's cognition reaches a certain level, one will have the ability to distinguish right from wrong; if one has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, one must correct one's state of mind, and not go against one's own conscience, and endeavor to make one's words and deeds conform to the standard of morality, and one's own cultivation will be perfected. This is what the ancients said: to study material things, to realize knowledge, to be sincere, to correct one's mind, and to cultivate one's body. Improvement of personal moral cultivation, there will be the basis for the advancement of social public **** civilization.

And the civilized atmosphere of a society also has a great influence on its people. Why do I say this? I believe that some students have been to Europe or Japan, they have a very personal experience. I don't want to talk about the big things, just look at the small things like crossing the street. As long as the red light is on, even if there is not a single car on the road, foreigners will never cross the street. They believe that this is a public **** civilization that must be observed. Just ask, in such an atmosphere, who would run the red light recklessly? This is where the power of social atmosphere lies. But think again, if we do not start from ourselves, where does this social atmosphere come from?

A reporter interviewed a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, "Professor, where did you learn the most important things in life?" , "In kindergarten. There, I learned things that benefit me throughout my life, such as having good things to share with friends, humility, wash your hands before eating ...... "We perfect our civilized cultivation is the same, not necessarily any remarkable initiatives, but from the side of eating and washing hands of these small things to do. Develop civilized habits, so that the concept of civilization from the conscious level into the unconscious level, so that civilization throughout our every move.

We have been taught civilization and etiquette since we were young, and many of our students can talk about civilization and etiquette at length. But see the campus everywhere discarded lunch boxes, drink bottles, listening to the mouth of some students spit out profanity, how can we not teach people to grieve it! Are we all "giants of language and dwarfs of action"? Wang Shouren, a great scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said, "Knowledge is the idea of action, action is the effort of knowledge; knowledge is the beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge; knowledge and action is an essence, an effort. Knowledge and action are one essence, one effort. To know and not to do is to be unknown." We receive the education of civilization and etiquette, but we are stingy to perform, or even do the opposite, which is the same as never receiving social education what is the difference! So we want to practice social civilization, we have to work from this "knowledge and action", from their own words and actions, we have to say goodbye to uncivilized behavior.

===================

We don't have to complain that the level of civilization in this society is not high; we don't have to complain that our own power is too thin, and our influence on society is not great. Imagine, isn't there very little yeast in the bread? But with this little yeast alone, doesn't it make the bread rise. Every one of us should be the yeast of this age, and let our own yeast, play its proper role in this society.

Students, let us take action, "a new century, a new era, a new country, a new civilization", do not let civilization down, do not let civilization only appear on the paper, let it be active in our midst, so that civilization is omnipresent, so that we can do civilization, let the master of civilization, so that "civilization and I walk! "!

We need civilized life

Sixth grade Wang Bingxiang

It is often said that "Parents are the best teachers for children". However, I have become a teacher for my mom, and I have influenced our whole family with my practical actions. In my mother's words, I not only changed my mother, but by changing her, I changed the people around her, including her colleagues.

The story goes back to the winter before last, when the weather was already very cold. It was a chilly winter in Beijing, and our family went out to the movies by car. The streets of Beijing were filled with plastic flowers of all colors because of the Olympic officials' visit to the city, which gave a touch of warmth in the winter. We ate snacks and listened to music in the car. When we got to Dongzhimen, my mom threw a garbage bag with waste out the window of the car, and I rushed to stop it before it was too late. I asked my dad to drive the car back to pick up the garbage, but my mom said that the car could not go back, and there were so many cars on the road, so what if we crashed if we went back? Mom even said to just change it next time. But I was determined not to do it, and finally Dad drove the car back. Mom found the garbage she had thrown away. It took a lot of time, but the whole family thought I was right to do it. On the way home, there were so many different colored garbage bags hanging from the trees on both sides of the airport highway that the whole family had a deep introspection.

Since then, we have become ambassadors for civilization and environmental protection. Last week, we went to Xiangshan Mountain to enjoy the red leaves and brought a lot of food for a picnic. After the picnic, we collected the garbage separately and carried it down the mountain to the place where there is a garbage can before throwing it away. I don't have to supervise this kind of thing in our family any more, it's all done consciously. My mom even touched me with practical actions. She would often pick up the garbage on the ground in public *** places and throw it into the garbage can.

Speaking civilized and polite, it is necessary for everyone to start from me, from small things. We are the little master of the country, we have the obligation to help people who are not well educated to learn civilization, practice civilization. Because we have a rich material life today, we need to build a high degree of spiritual civilization. In this way, our country can become a strong and highly civilized country, and civilization can be admired by more people.

On one occasion, I saw on TV that Germany, an ancient civilized country in Europe, was calling on the whole nation to be civilized and polite, and to retrieve the ancient manners of the Germanic peoples. At the same time, an example was given of a grandmother passing by the road, although she was the only one on the road, she still waited for the red light to turn green before leaving. The grandmother replied, "I'm afraid the children upstairs will see it and think the red light is passable." I send this story to all grandparents, fathers and mothers, how important your words and deeds are to us, when you have uncivilized behavior, think about your children! Think about the fact that we are an ancient civilization!

I'm going to tell my classmates with personal experience of this small thing, our words and deeds can also influence to change the adults! You can try it if you don't believe me! Let us all become civilized and polite middle school students! In this way, our life can be better and our country can be stronger.

Civilized manners accompany me

China is a country of etiquette, and has always been concerned about manners. Confucius thought that "if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand"; Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty regarded whether or not to speak and observe etiquette as the difference between human beings and beasts. In the modern civilized society, this virtue of being civilized and polite should be vigorously promoted because it is of great significance to "form a good social atmosphere of pursuing nobility and inspiring advancement" and "promote the continuous improvement of the quality of the whole nation". Therefore, we citizens should comply with the requirements of the times, consciously abide by, and be a civilized and polite civilized citizens. However, unfortunately, in real life, there are often not civilized, do not understand the phenomenon of politeness.

For example, in front of the public ear-pulling, nose-picking, and even foot-picking; listening to others, looking around, disdainful; on the bus, swarming, scrambling for a seat, and even make a fuss; in the public **** place spitting, littering, and in the roadside defecation. October 6, 2004 Beijing Radio and Television News reported that: Muxidi Science and Technology Hall east of the roadside became an open-air toilet for taxi drivers. The roadside to the east of the Muxidi Science and Technology Hall has become an open-air toilet for cab drivers, so much so that you can smell the smell from a distance of a hundred meters or so, and the residents have strong opinions. It is impossible that the residents' views are not strong. It is indeed uncivilized for them to say that it is convenient to go to the toilet on the roadside in broad daylight, without any cover or fence. Poopers are convenient, but passing pedestrians are not convenient, not only pedestrians are not convenient, if foreigners see, will not laugh at the quality of the entire Chinese nation, because your convenience so that the whole nation is discriminated against, implicated, how to behave? The first thing you need to do is to take a look at your motherland and see if you can afford it.

John Locke, the famous British educator, said, "Politeness is a great thing that children and youth should be especially careful to develop habits." This is something we should learn from Premier Zhou, which U.S. President Richard Nixon commented on in his book "Leaders". Nixon said, "Zhou Enlai's quick wit greatly exceeds that of any other world leader I know. It is a special virtue unique to China, the essence of Chinese civilization as it has developed over many centuries of history, and he is modest but calm and firm." Zhou Enlai's civilized speech, polite demeanor and his convincing temperament and demeanor, it is his noble character, broad-mindedness, superior wisdom, the vivid embodiment of the good and noble heart.

It seems that civilization, etiquette is very important. Then, how should we do it? First of all, pay attention to cultivate their own good and noble hearts. On the surface, civilization and manners are external, but in fact the external form contains internal thoughts and feelings. Really civilized and polite people, is a person with a good heart, good language from a good heart, which is often said that "words for the heart", "form for the internal". Secondly, in practice, we should use the moral standard of civilized manners to regulate their own speech and behavior. Civilized manners, focusing on performance. Mainly includes four points: ① modest and courteous ② talk civilized ③ behavior ④ hygiene. I think, if you can do the above four points, also worthy of the "State of Manners" members.

Goethe, the famous German writer, has a good saying: "A man's politeness is a mirror that shows his portrait." Indeed, people always evaluate you according to your speech and behavior. Because, politeness is the golden key for human beings to live together in harmony, only with it can we have happiness and joy.

Civilization is a quality that everyone must have

Teng Xuewen, a senior (1) class

The wind of etiquette has been passed down for thousands of years, and our country has been known as "an ancient civilized country" and "a state of etiquette" in the world. In today's society, from the head of state to visit each other, down to the interaction of the common people, from the smile of the political giants to the handshake of the famous businessmen, but also shine with the glory of civilization and etiquette.

When we come into contact with a person, we often give him some comments: "This person has a high quality, poise"; "This person is educated, elegant speech"; "This person is too bad, even a polite word are can't even say a polite word"; "this person is vulgar and full of foul language"; "this person is too sloppy, his clothes are wrinkled, and he hasn't even washed his face" ...... a well-qualified and educated person must have good civilized manners. Such a person will be respected and welcomed.

Civilized etiquette should focus on the usual, cultivated from childhood, to form good habits. There is an old saying: "Few become if nature, habit becomes nature." The story of "Liu Bei's three visits to his hut" shows that only by respecting others can you be respected and trusted by others and succeed in your career. Zhou Enlai life bowed to exhaustion, in order to contribute to the cause of the party and the people's life energy, but every time he went out to inspect the work, when he left the local always personally and the waiter, chef, security guards and medical personnel, etc., shook hands and thanked him. Premier Zhou is a model of respect for others and an example for young people to follow. Some people believe that modern society speaks of personal freedom, know civilized etiquette does not matter, as long as the study, work well, have real skills on the line. Modern society does respect personal choice, freedom, however, the civilized etiquette of people require more, because civilized etiquette is an important symbol of the degree of civilization of society. In modern society, there are more and more "halls of elegance", and no one would like to become a difficult "hall of elegance" people.

Japanese family education attaches great importance to the education of children. A child can't eat without being told by the mother that she has prepared the meal. The child must say "You're welcome then" before eating. The child has a set of rules of etiquette every time he or she leaves or returns home. Every time a child leaves the house, he or she must say "I'm leaving" to his or her father or mother, and every time he or she comes home, he or she must say "I'm back" when he or she enters the house. Japanese children's civilized behavior has become their habit.

In Japan, the country has a strict etiquette, not to mention our ancient history with five thousand years of culture.

Now, our country attaches more and more importance to civilization and etiquette, such as the implementation of civilization and etiquette drill; the publication of "civilization and etiquette popular reading book"; to carry out the "capital city citizens civilization and etiquette style competition" and other colorful activities. Once I was on the street, I saw four children of eight or nine years old removing bicycles from the blind alley, and the sweat beads on their foreheads were pouring down one after another, but they had no time to care. Seeing this scene, I think anyone would be touched by them. This incident is enough to prove the achievements of civilized etiquette education in our country.

Civilized manners, civilized behavior, coupled with a quiet, elegant, comfortable environment, a rich cultural atmosphere, will inspire students to continue to explore and seek knowledge. Good civilized etiquette habits, can affect your learning, your life, and even the future of life will be inexhaustible, so why don't we do it? Only with a deep heritage, elegant speech, decent demeanor, in order to call the real beauty of connotation.
